I rode 20 miles on my mountain bike today. WHAT the ?!! So..um...yeah I think I overdid it a bit for my level of activity. My muscles are just aching now.
It's just that I love mountain biking and yesterday I got a taste of it again and so today, I just rode and rode and rode pushing my husband to go further, even though he warned me of the pain I'll be in. I just pooed pooed him and enjoyed the scenery of the cranes, pelicans, the marshes leading up to the ocean, and we even came across a fox as we mountain biked further into the trail with deeper brush.
I rode until I could just not push it anymore around 10 miles...problem was though...I had to go all the way back even though I was really tired--Another 10 miles to return!
So in a way I discovered a great tool to force myself to work harder!
But I have to admit, my husband was right...I AM in pain. Not horrible, but my legs do ache. I sure hope I won't feel worse tomorrow.
Even though I'm feelin' a bit uncomfortable as a result of pushing really hard, I LOVED today! I was reminded why I love to mountain bike -- being able to take the side trails off the beaten path and see cool things has reignited the fire for this again. I just have to be smart about preventing injuries.
I also feel good because I planned for a good hearty dinner -- a home made recipe of turkey chili. It was absolutely delicious and we could control the calories and fat more. Having a bowl and corn on the cob just hit the spot after a day like today. I didn't even crave my ice cream. I ran out of it yesterday, and normally I would have gone to the store, but tonight I am just pretty tired, no huge craving that a slice of watermelon can't cure.
Tomorrow the rat race begins, busy work day, and I have to deal with some stuff for my parents, but I really like the newest caregiver. She seems amazing and though I know time will really tell (as I have learned) but as of now, I feel positive and hopeful. A huge relief so far.
One of the things I have learned over these last almost two weeks is to make sure to have my meals planned, and then have healthy things available at all times. These are tricks that work for me.
NOTE: I always enter the journal in late at night which seems to enter the journal in for the next day's date. SO the exercise journals and regular journals are a day apart.
